    A local grocery store had a sign listing the price for 'phenol' right by the fennel bulbs for about a year.

    I don't understand... What is "gearl" supposed to be?

    It's "cearl", and is a misspelling of "cereal."

    Note the crossed-out "S" from the initial effort...

    Oh my.

    Well, it could have been a dyslexic person. I'm going to optimistically assume such.

    This is clever advertising at work: the cearl costs just $2.99 but they don't have any stocked... ;-)

    I'm just going to assume that 'cearl' is some sort of complicated chemical agent that I'm not aware of, because I prefer to see the crossed-out 's' as a quick sketch of DNA.

    I was going to say "At least they didn't spell it with an S", but....

    Somewhat in the writer's defence couldn't the 'S' have been a first attempt at a '$', subsequently deemed misplaced?

    Reminds me of the time that I picked up a couple of shifts in a coffee shop to make some extra money for Christmas. A 19 year old girl was working, and had posted a memo for the boss, requesting Oct 31,32 and 33 off. When it was pointed out to her - she changed it to Oct 31, 32 and Nov 1.
    There was even a calendar posted inches away.
    Needless to say, she didn't get any time off....
